Captivate Exit button not exiting

Question

I updated the SCORM.htm file to stop bookmarking, which is
now working wonderfully (thanks to all who posted those
solutions!). BUT, now the Exit button is no longer closing the
course. I click the Exit button on the skin and it just sits there.
Before updating the SCORM.htm file to stop bookmarking, the Exit
button was working fine.
I am using the Meridian LMS and Captivate 2. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Brooke

bschepker,
You indicated that the lesson closes after several seconds.
Have you checked the timeline on the last slide? Perhaps you have
something continuing to run for several seconds, preventing the
slide from ending and thus triggering the built-in window close
functionality?
I use a button to pause my last slide and am continually
having to reset the timing of the rest of the objects to make sure
the slide ends at 2.5 seconds (the button pauses the slide at 1.5
seconds, so add 0.5 seconds for slide fade out + 0.5 seconds for "I
like things to start and end on 0.5 second intervals").
Also, it may be possible that the movie is waiting on a
response from the LMS before closing the window. I don't claim to
know how Captivate's SCORM implementation works, but if the
behavior is consistent and it's not a timeline issue, that may be
what's going on.
If that's the case, then a suggestion would be to add a new
slide at the end of your file that says something like "Submitting
your results... please do not close this window or your completion
information may be lost." This would at least keep the user from
closing the window before the movie has a chance to do so on it's
own.
